With less than a week to go until the deadline for posting to and from the UK and Far East for Christmas here’s a little reminder drawn from the days before internet and email task lists.
I discovered this clip last Christmas via the British Film Institute’s website and I don’t know if I can put into words just how much I love it. The animation was created for the English General Post Office in 1951 by German animator, Lotte Reiniger. It is an absolutely exquisite piece of animation for something so mundane – final posting dates for Christmas. I hope you will enjoy watching it as much as I have…and don’t forget to post those parcels!
